25 tracks, 61 mins, highly recommended
This is a great
collection of rocking blues, R&B and black rock and roll with the
occasional white artist thrown into the mix from the 50s and early 60s.
Just about every track is a winner - among the highlights are St. Louis
disc jockey, vocalist and trumpet player Gabriel with a terrific version
of the Billy Boy Arnold songs Don't Stay Out All Night with a hot
guitar solo from Ike Turner and a trumpet solo from Gabriel himself. Sara
Lee comes on like an even wilder version of Wanda Jackson with a great
band doing a storming version of Jim Dandy - too bad it fades out
in the middle of a hot guitar solo. Sheryl Crowley is another fine female
vocalist - she is accompanied by Lorenzo Holden's powerful band on It
Ain't To Play With with some excellent piano work which sounds quite a
bit like Amos Milburn. There are two splendid sides by the 3 Of Us Trio
featuring the vocals of Charles Kelly - Big Sid and It's Love
- the latter with a terrific guitar solo. Lots more great sides from Jerry
Bradford & The Spades, Bobo Jenkins (a very obscure release), Jo Jo
Williams, Otis Read, Georgia Lane, Emmett Hobson & The Rag-Muffins, Carl
Simpson, Frank Floyd (aka Harmonica Frank), Little Cameron, The Commandos,
Bob Roubain (a fine vocal and piano rocker from an unreleased acetate) and
more. Good sound and booklet has some nice label shots and a couple of
artist photos. If you liked the Stompin' series you'll love this. (FS)

Excellent collection of
mostly uptempo blues and R&B featuring mostly obscure but fine artists.
Among the highlights are two terrific tracks by interestingly named
Chicago bluesman Bo Dudley (Oscar Coleman) featuring some great steel
guitar by, presumably, Freddy Roulette. There are two tracks from the
excellent New Orleans singer/ guitarist Jesse Allen, two by the fine Baby
Calloway, one of them instrumental, recorded in 1962 for Bay area label
Bay-Tone. Also includes Eddy Jones & The Cyclones, james Carter & The Sentimentals, V. & B.B., James Wayne (I'm not sure if this is the same guy
who cut Junco Partner), Havert Bennett, John Brim (two sides cut
for his own BB label in the 70s), Cliff Chambers, and others. An
entertaining collection. (FS)
